About The Trucker Awareness Initiative
Welcome to the Trucker Awareness Initiative. Our mission is safer roads for everyone. Learn about our goals and how you can help make a difference.
My Goal Is Safer Roads For Everyone
The Trucker Awareness Initiative exists to bridge the knowledge gap between commercial truck drivers and general motorists, aiming to reduce accidents and save lives. We strive for mutual safety and respect on our shared highways.
The Dangerous Reality Of Truck Blind Spots and Stopping Distances
Large trucks have massive blind spots ("no-zones") and require significantly more distance (often the length of two football fields) to stop than passenger vehicles. This isn't just about rules; it's about the laws of physics and the inherent limitations of 80,000-pound vehicles. Misunderstanding these facts is deadly.
You Have The Power To Make Our Highways Safer Today
Simple behavioral changes (staying out of blind spots, giving trucks space, practicing patience) directly contributes to highway safety. Share the road, give them space, and be seen. Make a commitment to change one driving behavior immediately upon entering your vehicle.
